The house presides like a noble monarch in the background of this enormous backyard. The gently sloping banks are punctuated by garden beds, picturesque stone walls and fence. And the pool is definitely where you'll be all weekend.

This luxurious backyard works beautifully with its natural surroundings that include the Long Island Sound. Here, a large stone expanse eases gracefully into a swimming pool and patio. Retaining walls and railings help create non-invasive dimension.

An overhead view shows off the swimming pool and the graceful patio around it. There's enough room for two different seating areas. Velvety lawns bring a layer of lush.
